The Ehrenthaler Werth is an uninhabited Rhine island in the Middle Rhine Valley , it is part of St. Goar-Fellen or with the western quarter of Boppard - Holzfeld , and lies on the right bank of the Rhine before St. Goarshausen-Ehrenthal between Rhine kilometers 560 and 561.
Ehrenthaler Werth still has characteristic softwood floodplain vegetation with the original shape of a white willow floodplain forest. The valuable biotope meets the requirements for classification as an FFH area .
In 2010, the use of river turbines for generating electricity from hydropower was tested between Ehrenthaler Werth and the left bank of the Rhine . For this purpose, two turbines, each with an output of 5 kW, were sunk five meters into the Rhine. The river here has an average flow velocity of 2 m / s. It is also closed to shipping. If the test is positive, the expansion of a river turbine park should be considered.
